The loss also secured a top three pick in the 2018 NFL Draft for the Giants, who now enter the final week of the season in a race with the Indianapolis Colts for No. 2 overall.

Here are the players whose stock rose and fell as a result of the latest loss:

Stock up: Jason Pierre-Paul

It’s been a rough year for JPP, who was signed to a rather large contract in the offseason. He hasn’t exactly lived up to expectations from the perspective of a pass rusher, but still continues to give max effort. That effort paid off in Week 16 despite a club protecting a broken finger on his right hand. JPP finished the game with four tackles (four solo, one for a loss), one sack, one pass defensed and two quarterback hits.

Stock down: Eli Manning

After a huge game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, Manning struggled in Week 16 against the Cardinals. The veteran completed just 27 of his 45 pass attempts for 263 yards, two interceptions and one fumble lost. It was ugly, but he’ll start the season finale against the Washington Redskins.
